    cxgb4: drop __GFP_NOFAIL allocation · f72f116a
    Michal Hocko authored
    set_filter_wr is requesting __GFP_NOFAIL allocation although it can return
    ENOMEM without any problems obviously (t4_l2t_set_switching does that
    already).  So the non-failing requirement is too strong without any
    obvious reason.  Drop __GFP_NOFAIL and reorganize the code to have the
    failure paths easier.
    
    The same applies to _c4iw_write_mem_dma_aligned which uses __GFP_NOFAIL
    and then checks the return value and returns -ENOMEM on failure.  This
    doesn't make any sense what so ever.  Either the allocation cannot fail or
    it can.
    
    del_filter_wr seems to be safe as well because the filter entry is not
    marked as pending and the return value is propagated up the stack up to
    c4iw_destroy_listen.
